Implementation for:
http://issues.roundup-tracker.org/issue2550731
Add mechanism for the detectors to be able to tell the source of the
data changes.
Support for tx_Source property on database handle. Can be
used by detectors to find out the source of a change in an auditor to
block changes arriving by unauthenticated mechanisms (e.g. plain email
where headers can be faked). The property db.tx_Source has the
following values:
* None - Default value set to None. May be valid if it's a script
that is created by the user. Otherwise it's an error and indicates
that some code path is not properly setting the tx_Source property.
* "cli" - this string value is set when using roundup-admin and
supplied scripts.
* "web" - this string value is set when using any web based
technique: html interface, xmlrpc ....
* "email" - this string value is set when using an unauthenticated
email based technique.
* "email-sig-openpgp" - this string value is set when email with a
valid pgp signature is used. (*NOTE* the testing for this mode
is incomplete. If you have a pgp infrastructure you should test
and verify that this is properly set.)
This also includes some (possibly incomplete) tests cases for the
modes above and an example of using ts_Source in the customization.txt
document.

========================== PostgreSQL/psycopg Backend ========================== This are notes about PostqreSQL backend based on the psycopg adapter for Roundup issue tracker. Prerequisites ============= To use PostgreSQL as backend for storing roundup data, you should additionally install: 1. PostgreSQL 8.x or higher - http://www.postgresql.org/ 2. The psycopg python interface to PostgreSQL: http://initd.org/software/initd/psycopg Running the PostgreSQL unit tests ================================= The user that you're running the tests as will need to be able to access the postgresql database on the local machine and create and drop databases. See the config values in 'test/db_test_base.py' about which database connection, name and user will be used. Credit ====== The postgresql backend was originally submitted by Federico Di Gregorio <fog@initd.org>
